Finally, Antonnie whispered to me, saying that he could use his magic on Erick, but I forbade him. "Don't worry, it will stop on its own. It's an old disease, so don't be surprised," I said.
I tried to calm Erick down because I was in the wrong here, I didn't tell the truth from the beginning and just brought it up now. "Okay, okay, I was wrong, okay?" I said quietly, trying to relent and persuade him. "But, I need her help now, so I have to go to her place and stay there."
Erick furrowed his brows, looking confused and perhaps not agreeing with what I said. "You already have a house, why do you have to go there? Then, how about your job?" he said urgently.
Did I really have to say everything? I hesitated to do it. I was also afraid, to be honest with Erick, there were too many lies and other things that I kept from him, so I didn't know where to start.
